Usha Bista nearly died on Mount Everest. The Nepalese mountain climber got sick about 2,000 feet below the summit and says her climbing partners kept going and wouldn't even leave her food and water. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://keyetv.com/topstories/topstories_story_149095534.html"><DIV>But Meagan McGrath, a 29-year-old Canadian, saved Bista. Her heroics have now been honored by the Everest mountaineering community. She was on her way down from the summit last week when she came across Bista. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://keyetv.com/topstories/topstories_story_149095534.html"><DIV>Bista, 22, is now recovering from her near-death experience. She now has a case of frostbite to show for her ordeal, but at the time she was suffering from an often lethal form of altitude sickness, a swelling of the brain called cerebral oedema. </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://keyetv.com/topstories/topstories_story_149095534.html"><DIV>"I was very concerned that she would die," McGrath told CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips. "I was not sure what I was going to do at that time. But, yeah, she was definitely deteriorating to the point of death, basically." </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://keyetv.com/topstories/topstories_story_149095534.html"><DIV>McGrath and two other climbers took Bista down to a camp where she could be treated by doctors. </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/611C01EF-FE27-4D4D-A7EC-27CEC2342662/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
